I attended a friend's wedding on Saturday and was hoping to bring you the outfit i wore to the wedding but thanks to leaving the process of getting ready until the last minute, a mad rush ensued meaning no posh frock post. When the weather starts acting its age and that big yellow thing decides to grace us with its presence, i hope to give the occasion dress an airing. Plus with it being a non maternity adaptation, i'm unsure how long the bump will fit into it.
So instead i am bringing you today's work outfit and i reached into my wardrobe archives for both the dress and shoes i am wearing today. The dress is a H&M number i have had for roughly eight years and picked up for about £15 in the sale. It's empire cut meaning it gets me through pregnancies, but it's also good thereafter due to its classic shape. Over the years i have toyed with getting the hem raised but now i'm so glad i didn't as it's a perfect midi length. The shoes were a Kurt Geiger purchase from around 2003. They were in the sale and reduced down to £70 from a rather high price as they are snakeskin but oh lord were they worth it! They have lasted amazingly well, with a little baby oil tlc (tip from a Geigerette), and are the reason i recently vowed to invest in better quality shoes. Thanks to cobbler hubby they have been re-heeled about five times and will be going in for a resole quite soon. It's funny how even years after a purchase, i always remember a good bargain price?...x Talia
